Soccer fills much of the week in boys high school sports in the Diocese of Wilmington. Saint Mark’s, which got off to a big start with a win over Odyssey Charter last week, has three games on the slate, and Archmere has a pair.
Friday night will be an off day for Catholic high school football teams, but fans can catch back-to-back games on Saturday if they wish. And in cross country, Salesianum is the only program running this weekend.
Schedules are subject to change.

Saint Mark’s (0-2) at Archmere (1-0), 2 p.m. Both of these teams are playing a fellow Class 2A team for the first time this season, and this matchup normally produces memorable games. Archmere had its running game going in a win against St. Elizabeth. The Spartans are looking to get their offense clicking.
